Good morning!!!!

[daugen]

Good morning all.
53 out now in steady light rain, only going up a few degrees, and rain continues into tonight and overnight.

waiting on Comcast to show up and get me hooked up.

well it had to happen...about 10pm last night woke up to sirens, thought that's not police but a fire truck, and sure enough engine from substation of Eagle Fire Company, which I used to be a member of, was pulling out of Township garage across and down the street from me and headed out somewhere. Nice to have both police and fire company so close to me. And the sound of a fire truck will never bother me... Reminds me I need to get a battery operated smoke detector for bedroom (two others hardwired elsewhere) and several CO2 detectors; oil hot air heat, important to have. I think they make combo units now, that might be a good solution for bedroom. Plus I need to get a new fire extinguisher, can never have enough of them.

need to drive back downtown to supermarket and get what I forgot...butter and dishwasher soap. Lots of Amazon deliveries coming in today, should keep me busy. Then going furniture shopping with friend and his van on Wed afternoon. Slow but sure.

There must be a meteorological explanation for why rain often decides to start falling at the same time as I step out of the door in the morning, if not there is something very weird going on.

It is almost as though the weather app on my phone is sneaking a look at my alarm clock setting and somehow telling the real life rain clouds when to arrive. I could swear it is happening a lot more frequently too this year - can it be a coincidence that it coincides with my change over from Android to Apple ? I need to get get a grip, or my sweat dreams could be turning into a nightmare low budget remake of The_Truman_Show :laughing:

"All this because engineering added a feature that was an answer to a question no one ever asked."
Don't come down too hard on them Rich, it may have done with good intentions to keep you in plenty of work in putting it right . Good luck with the fix

Don, I never thought of the earthquake excuse, must remember that one :thumbsup:

Waiting for first cup of coffee to cool. 48ｰ with partly cloudy skies this morning. Heading to 72ｰ with thunderstorms in afternoon. Did not get to conserve energy yesterday. Aunt called. Lets go to Port Huron today. Quick shower for me and we were off to visit my other Aunt who we had not seen since January. Great day for the trip. Good visit. Maybe conserve energy today. Still need trip to Menard's.

Drew, meal looks good. Glad move is still going good.

Don, garden looks good even without Church to guide you.

Eric, I am sure there is a good logical reason for rain dropping rain as soon as you walk out the door. But check all the settings on your iPhone before you go outdoors. By then rain may have moved on.

Buckeye, those trees will change quick. Keep your camera close by.

Buppies, hope it is only a tank needing pumping.

RS, more Hosta's to plant.

RNG, mask looks good.

Rich, good luck on trip and fix.

David, great Shopie picture. Roof looks good.

Kyle, Gator rides. :thumbsup:

Roy, good you got out with pistol. My neighbor and I had planned to go to local gun range to use my revolver and other guns. But a Trump/BLM event is planned for there tomorrow. Guess we will have to wait until later in week. Neither of us handle crowds very well. :shocked:

Randy, pickled beets. :licking:

Everyone stay safe and healthy.

Good Morning All.

my first dinner in new kitchen
50/50 mix of baby spinach and baby greens, salmon with spicy plum chutney on top,
pickled beets and broccoli salad. The latter had almost no mayo in it :thumbsup:
All very healthy, low calorie and low fat.
which will allow me to have a nice bowl of no sugar added Breyers ice cream for dessert.
Local Giant supermarket has all kinds of healthy food options that the NC Food Lion did not.

rain just started, will water the mums outside nicely I hope.

Meal fit for king.

64 outside this AM. That could be the high, rain is steady and moving through. Looks like the grass cutting is not done yet for the season.

Eric, I know what you mean about rain and trying to step outside. LOL. Hope it clears for you.

Buppies hope the tank just needs draining.

RNG, you are - prepared. Good for you!

Pickled beets or asparagus, favs!

Yesterday was not so restful. A run to Home Depot for tools and various things ended up hitting the wallet a little. The 20 year old drill, got chucked last night. I must say, the replacement is lighter, has more power, lasts longer...and holds a charge. LOL. I like the light too. I am way behind on my tool replacements. But over the last few months am slowly replacing everything with battery versions. So far ...so good.

We managed to clean up the porch, put the final screws in, and started the final prep for the foam boards. Meaning I need to work on the ceiling again. Got a few spots that need putty. That's on the agenda for today.

Hope all have a great start to the week. Be safe.
